    kw your right about the weather its weirdly misty in my bit of the mids....we are having a stir fry for tea which we always enjoy with rice and noodles for some and fresh air for others 9me) cant be many calories in air but you never know

    i weighed myself this morning and wished i hadnt bothered...must stop doing it because it is quite un motivating.....so so tempting though

    good luck tess

    Ah ah, talking about salads..a couple of days ago I was thinking that soon it will be too hot for soups (that I love for obvious weight and moneysaving reasons), then I looked out and went:"Naaaaa, soups will be alright for quite a while!!"

    So, yesterday was another day full of carbs for me! I guess I don't mind it, I grew up having pasta for both lunch and dinner everyday! :eek:

    B: Coffee, porridge with blueberries (SSM, I wish I were as thorough as you with grams and everything!)
    S: McVities Digestive biscuits
    L: Red thai salmon curry + basmati (half a portion of everything)
    D:Huge portion of ragu pasta with a lot of cheese on top.
    E: None. Still sore from Sunday.

    MFP: +15

    Have a good day!!
